THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF ST. MARY THE VIRGIN, FELPHAM

We are a church providing religious services and social activities to the people of the parish of Felpham, Bognor Regis

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
Why are there 19 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?

Financial issues to consider:

On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
